Pleasant and Excellently Situated Tourist Hotel
Very pleasant hotel with extremely helpful staff situated within easy walking district of the most popular tourist attractions - Hagia Sofya, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace etc. Not the lap of luxury but extremely good value at the price.

My wife and I had a good stay at Hotel Basileus for a couple of nights before starting a cruise out of Istanbul. The hotel is not fancy, but it was a great value. Some highlights worth noting were:
- Very low price
- Great location, a short walk from most of the major tourist sites in Istanbul's old city
- Quiet neighborhood but close to everything
- Extremely helpful staff, especially Kenan, who provided good recommendations for places to eat and things to do.
Check out Basileus if you are looking for a great value in a place to stay in Istanbul.

Great location in very close proximity to Sultanahmet & Hagia Sophia Mosque. Very clean. Worth noting there is no restaurant so breakfast is not provided. I thought breakfast was included when booked but there are good food options in nearby.

It was written in booking the hotel is with the breakfast included.
It wasn't when we stayed there.
The stuff never asked whether we need anything.
